To the Balfe Family,
I´m so sorry to hear of Bob´s passing. I met Bob at the Skenandoah club years ago and we immediately became friends. We would play golf after work almost every night. On the weekends we would have dinner on Friday night, my wife and Mary Margaret hit it off as well. Our hearts are broken that they both have passed, but I know they´re together now forever and happy. Please accept my deepest condolences during this difficult time of grief.


Sincerely,

John Kiehm

I met Bob through golf. He was always a gentleman on the golf course and after as we recalled the ups and downs of the round over a refreshment.

By knowing him through golf it gave me insights on how he lived the rest of his life.

Bob was special and a friend.
